What We Are Up To - New Hardware To The Front

Rolling off the Killing Floor 2 announcement and Killing Floor End Of The Line event, we at Tripwire have some good news for Red Orchestra 2 fans! New hardware is being shipped to the front! What hardware? Glad you asked!

Small Arms

Maschinengewehr 1942 (MG-42) - A squad and mounted machine gun of the German armies, designed and intended to replace the MG-34. Firing at 1,200 rpm, the MG-42 not only put bullets down range but fear as well. One of its only drawbacks was its inability to have successful sustained fire due to the amount of ammunition it could consume as well as easily over heating its barrel.

Vehicles

T-70 - Designed to replace previous light tanks in use by the Russian army and one of the last light tanks to be made before their fall out of favor for more armored and up-gunned medium and heavy tanks. Featuring a small crew (consisting of the driver and the commander/gunner), it boasted a 45-mm cannon and a coaxial mounted DT machine gun.

Panzerkampfwagen III (Panzer III) - Intended as the main battle tank of the German armies going into WWII it went through several modifications and role changes as the Germany army encountered heavier armored and armed tanks on the eastern front. It also introduced the standard 3 man turret that became the standard for both the Germany army and that of the Allied powers it was fighting.

We will be bringing you screenshots as development of these items continues. I will also be going into (in my continuing series of What We Are Up To Posts) some of the new features and community requests that we are tackling for our next set of updates. Also I am pleased to announce that we've been working on the SDKfz 251 and in a future build it will sit 6 passengers in the back. We'll see you on the front!

Sounds like a really great news that work is carried out so long after the release of new content still is very good.

What I would wish for the future would be a better-developed Squad system, so that working together would be something comfotable(for example to join the same squad, finding each other etc.) and thus more rewarding.

Can you please make a queue-system when joining servers? Trying to get to my favourite-server is a pain in the arse. It shows there is a slot available in server browser but when I join it says "server is full". After downloading the map, of course...

@Franics - It's not just about the tanks you ditzy fuck, you actually tried to argue against the Maschinengewehr 42 by saying that the 42 never saw service. Are you fucking stupid? Maschinengewehr 1942. *1942*. Let that sink in. *1942*. That's not just a name, you know, that's the YEAR OF MANUFACTURING. Much like the Maschinengewehr 34 is named after its year of production/manufcaturing i.e. 1934. The Maxim HMG isn't a fucking LMG, the DP-28 saw service against both the MG42 and MG34 and even went on to see service in the Soviet Union until the late 1960's. Jesus fuck, you're so pathetically ignorant I'm genuinely mad. Genuinely. Mad.
